For one, like the beginning off season, I trained 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: all the receivers. We went to Miami and through with 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: Kenny and then after that that's when I kind of 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: started that regiment, just working on them run after catch. 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: What was that like when Kenny says, guys, hey, here's 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: where I'm going. You guys are all the skilled players 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: go and you guys just have time to yourselves. 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: Uh. It was really just a great thing to just 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: have time myself. Like you said, the camaraderie kind of 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: boosted everything. Guys like Daz, Tay Calvin. We were all 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: there and it wasn't like, you know, we gotta be 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: here or be there, so we could just have a 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: little fun a little bit and that was just a 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: great decease just out of all the guys being there. 34 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: So having that this offseason, OT's Mini Camp gets a 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: training camp. Did you guys find an identity as an offense? Uh? 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll probably just say more composed for real. That 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: was like the biggest identity I me personally took from it. 38 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: And that was just because of all the guys were 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: just you know, laid back, chill and they were doing 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: their assignments, like, you know, pretty efficiently than it was 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: last year. 42 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: Do you think it's just because it's another year of 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: being together and you guys were such a young group 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: and there was some you know ups and downs last year. 45 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the age. You know, you know, 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: everybody's first time go around and anything. It's gonna be 47 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: kind of like a tough thing. And I feel like now, 48 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: like you said, way more comfortable year two of knowing 49 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: the place, knowing the courages. So yeah, it's way more 50 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: composed group for sure. 51 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: Alan Robinson, a veteran, joined you guys in the offseason. 52 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: He's your roommate at training camp. What's something that you 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: learned from him that really helped you? 54 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Really a guy that just he knows everything, so he 55 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: really don't say as much, but for a player like 56 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: me that has, you know, a very high ceiling, he 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: was telling me, like, you know, certain depth throw routes, 58 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: just really savvy things that I didn't even know. I thought, 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we play with well you like you 60 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: think you know everything, but he was. He was telling 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: me stuff that I didn't know for sure. 62 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: In terms of also training camp, last year, coach Tomlin 63 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: put you against Menka. This year you got to go 64 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: against Joey Porter junior. You know, kind of like you 65 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: were the rookie last year. Now there's a rookie this year. 66 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: How much did that help you? As obviously it helped him. 67 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it helped me a lot, like you said, and 68 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: it helped Joey, I feel like a lot, just in 69 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: terms of competing when we go to Latrobe. That's really 70 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: the biggest thing out of all like aspects of the game, 71 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: as far as being smart or doing this is really 72 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: a gretty hard working time and like you said, it 73 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: was bringing the best out of everybody while let's compete. 74 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: He said he's a bigger trash talker than you. Is 75 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: that true. 76 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: I don't know about that because I talked so much 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: trash like I can't even say it on camera, I 78 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: feel me, so he probably can. He's a little more 79 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, pig. 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: Training camp. Some of your crazy catches they start to 81 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: go viral. Take me through the ones that you know 82 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: you have on your phone and why you keep them 83 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: and do. 84 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: You watch them? I don't really watch them as I 85 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: used to, like when I was in college, but they're 86 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: just like old archive videos that I got on my phone. 87 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: The craziest things that I've done. My just catching the 88 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: ball has been like over the years now, like as 89 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: a kid, like you said, high school, college, so I 90 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: always have been like, you know, fond to you know, 91 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: making crazy catches. But as far as like me looking 92 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: back at my phone every once in a while, like 93 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: if it pops up as a memory, if it pops 94 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: if it brings my attention, I'll probably watch it. 95 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: Talk to me about your brother and just how much 96 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: he helped you growing up and helping mold you into 97 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: the football player that you are because he was a 98 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: defensive back. 99 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: My brother really helped me in really the whole game 100 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: of football just by him being a do for some 101 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: backing me. You wanted to play receiver, that wasn't even planned. 102 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: I used to play running back, so he just used 103 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: to encourage me, used to be super, super tough. He's 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: seven years older than me, so like it was just 105 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: a more lack of a older older brother, a true 106 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: older brother senior. Little unfair, Yeah, little unfair. I was, 107 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: you know when he was in hospit I'm catching high 108 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: school balls, you see what I mean? Everything was just 109 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the level up every thing that I did, just being 110 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: around my brother. 111 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: And how much has that helped you throughout your career? 112 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: Obviously at first it's it's very unfair, but it apparently 113 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: got better for you as it went on. 114 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: It helped a lot. It just transferred into like my 115 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: last year being you know, like an outstanding the rookie. 116 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: Just you're trying to continue that. Just never really being 117 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: caught off guard. That's like the biggest thing that that 118 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: really brought that out of me. Never really being shot 119 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: by somebody being bigger or stronger or anything. 120 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: You had said that Patrick Peterson was one of your 121 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: favorite players growing up. Why were you gravitated towards somebody 122 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: who was on the other side of the ball. 123 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: His way to fame, the way he did things at LSU, 124 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: that was really like the biggest thing for me. I 125 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: watched him a little bit in the league, but when 126 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: he was at LSU, that was like he was my 127 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: favorite player. My brother played dB. He played dB. My 128 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: brother's getting recruited by LSU, So it was like a 129 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: whole whole little crazy backstory. I got to meet Pat 130 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Pete like when I was like seven or eight, unplaying 131 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: recruiting trip too, Like they beat Alabama at a home 132 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: game at LSU. Everybody on the field, like, we're not 133 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: supposed to be on the field. It's just a crazy mishap. 134 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: How of how I met him. Thanks George for sure.
